coronary syndrome (acs), percutaneous coronary intervention (pci), cardiac surgery, stroke, or transient ischemic attack (tia) during 6 months prior to screening * poorly controlled hypertension (high blood pressure) or poorly controlled diabetes (but subjects with stable hypertension and/or diabetes for at least 3 months prior to screening may be included in the study). blood pressure greater than 150 mmhg systolic or 100 mmhg diastolic after 10 minutes of rest is exclusionary * subjects with a current diagnosis of major depression or a major depressive episode within the last 12 months, other pain syndromes, psychiatric disorders, dementia, or significant neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with study assessments * history

study results. in addition: * subjects with detectable levels of cocaine, amphetamines, and phencyclidine in drug abuse screening need to be excluded. subjects who are positive for amphetamines on the urine drug screen may have their urine samples evaluated for further analysis at the investigator's discretion to rule out a false positive result * subjects with detectable levels of marijuana during substance abuse screening may not be excluded if they do not meet dsmv criteria for substance abuse or dependence in the subject's opinion as documented by the investigator, and a positive result does not signal a clinical condition that would impact the subject safety or interpretation of the study results * diagnosis of hematologic or solid malignancy within 5 years prior to screening. subjects with a history of localized basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer may be included in the study if they are cancer-free prior to the screening visit for this study * subjects with a current diagnosis
